Lyrics

The Nature of the Ground

Well on the brink we stand, our towers high
What?s written in flesh is carved from the sky
From the edge of the world we watch it all
From the edge of an urge I?ll watch if fall
My reckless chest with thoughts to breathe
But fated to fight the long defeat
Of blood to dust that sinks will grow
And from the earth shall rise a flower bold enough to tell
The nature of the ground
The cards she holds must all fall down
So choose your card, enjoy the ride
My wilted faith in time must die
And blaze away, so deep the sound
Where embers flair the chant resounds
And slowly steam arcs from our lips
The art of love, brushstrokes that hiss
And release a song, so sad, so free
With every step, every breath brings us closer
To where we began
The music fades and the crowds leave the stands
And what they take with them is
The taste of days loved
So take this back, your halos high
Your rusted hearts, your twisted light
Arrest this mouth its gone to far
It bleeds with truth and feeds the star
That burns awake and hums aloud
Of moments lost and men to proud
But sweeping low, bold, dim, and vast
A questions? born, not afraid to ask
And what will they say
When the flower screams and learns to fly away
And all the tongue remembers is
The taste of days loved
